ACLU supports Biden's lawless border policies in Texas

 Karen Townsend:

The ACLU is issuing a warning to local governments in Texas – don’t participate in Governor Abbott’s actions to secure the Texas border. The warning is to county leaders that engaging in such actions at the state level violates the U.S. Constitution. The ACLU warns against Abbott enforcing “his own version of immigration policy.”

The ACLU is absolutely correct in that immigration policy is the responsibility of the federal government. The Biden administration, however, has essentially abdicated its responsibilities on the southern border. Instead of rising to the occasion, admitting bone-headed decisions made by Biden on illegal migration are not working and reinstating policies from the former administration that worked to keep the southern border secure, Team Biden denies there is even a problem. But, if there is a problem, they have it all under control. With the number of illegal migrants continuing to rise and the prime season for migration here, the Biden border crisis shows no signs of slowing.

What, exactly, are border state governors to do? In Texas, Governor Abbott is pulling out all the stops and using every tool he has available to him. He has declared disaster declarations for counties along the border that are overwhelmed trying to cope with the flood of illegal migrants entering their communities. Local resources are limited and are being depleted in some areas. Governor Abbott acknowledged the failure of the Biden administration to address the problems experienced by residents on the border and local law enforcement. He asked county judges to send him their receipts for expenses occurring due to the border crisis and he will bill the federal government for reimbursement. Since 2014 Texas has spent about $3.5B to help secure the border and provide public safety.

Abbott has held meetings with local communities and listened to law enforcement as well as residents. The ACLU has fought Abbott each step of the way. The civil rights advocate organization regularly conflates legal immigration and illegal immigration. The Biden border crisis has produced a flood of illegal migrants crossing the border to claim asylum, not following the legal procedure in place. The ACLU sent a letter to 34 counties advising officials against taking part in what it describes as an overreach by Abbott. It’s all just a “distraction” from other issues, you see.
...

Actually, Abbott is responding to local officials' request for help in dealing with the lawless border and the trespassing on the property of citizens.  Illegals do not have the civil liberty to trespass and destroy the property of citizens.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
